Gross and Janes Co

Gross & Janes Co. is a privately held company located in Kirkwood, Missouri. The company employs six individuals and generates approximately $654,000 in annual revenue. Gross & Janes Co. is the largest independent supplier and shipper of untreated railroad crossties across North America. They serve Class 1 railroads and track maintenance contractors with a range of products, including high-quality green and borate pre-treated crossties. Their innovative product, Tuff-Tie™, is a borate pre-treated crosstie that utilizes a two-step treatment process, eliminating the need for pressurized borate application at the time of creosote treatment. Tuff-Tie™ offers several advantages over standard crossties. This borate pre-treatment stops wood decay before it starts, resulting in a crosstie that is up to twice as strong. The two-step process also reduces seasoning decay, preserving critical tie strength and minimizing waste. This innovative approach offers environmental benefits by reducing creosote utilization and providing more environmentally friendly disposal options for spent ties.
